Document Summary
The theory is constructed so that no observations can disconfirm it. The usefulness of case studies is strongly determined by how far scientific investigation has advanced in a certain area. When faced with a problem-solving or decision-making situation, people retrieve from memory the information that seems relevant to the situation at hand. I liked the car x example because this happened to me. My dad doesn"t like dodges and because of that i decided to not buy a dodge when that was what i wanted. To let testimonials devour themselves with their own absurdity. I"d say that this is a good example because most people would feel this way about themselves me included. It robs them of their time and money. When people spend time (and money) on pseudosciences they gain nothing and they waste time that might have been spent on more productive endeavors.
